Transcript
00:00:00Are you married?
00:00:01No.
00:00:02Good.
00:00:02Then you can marry me.
00:00:04No!
00:00:06I'm the founder of the Shadow War.
00:00:10But I should live in the Shadow as a security guard, keeping one promise to a fallen friend.
00:00:15To protect Victoria.
00:00:17Oh, Vicky!
00:00:18I heard you were in the market for a groom.
00:00:20I want something from King's Attack.
00:00:22Victoria's company?
00:00:23Alex, marrying your sister is the only way to protect her, and I gotta do what I gotta
00:00:27do.
00:00:28Who is that with Victoria?
00:00:30Her security guard.
00:00:33Get this useless man out of here now!
00:00:37I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:00:40I told him no kissing.
00:00:42Why can't I resist him?
00:00:44Yeah, it's me.
00:00:45Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the King's Attack family.
00:00:47Now.
00:00:49That painting is worth 10 billion.
00:00:51A security guard who throws around 10 billion like it's pocket change?
00:00:56Burn it.
00:00:56No!
00:00:57Stop!
00:00:58What are you doing?
00:00:59It's the same one of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:01:02I want you to bankrupt VanVan.
00:01:05No!
00:01:06You can't just be a security guard.
00:01:08Who are you?
00:01:10No!
00:01:13No!
00:01:15Please, come in!
00:01:17Alex!
00:01:18Alex!
00:01:19Alex!
00:01:19Man down!
00:01:20We have a man!
00:01:21Down!
00:01:22We need back up now!
00:01:23God!
00:01:24Colt!
00:01:25Yeah.
00:01:25You got us surrounded, man.
00:01:27Let's get out of here.
00:01:28Looks like you won the bet.
00:01:30All right, we're getting out of here together.
00:01:34Take this.
00:01:37You are the best of the best.
00:01:39Promise me, get back home.
00:01:43Protect my sister, Victoria.
00:01:46The Kingsley family is a snake pit you have to protect her.
00:01:51There's an honor serving with you.
00:02:05Alex saved my life that day, and I never looked back since.
00:02:09I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance, the country's largest veterans network.
00:02:15The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared, and respected across the world.
00:02:21But I chose a much simpler post, content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard,
00:02:27keeping one promise to a fallen friend, to protect Victoria.
00:02:50Good morning, boss.
00:03:09After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:03:12No more hiding my identity.
00:03:17Yo, Cole, looking sharp as ever.
00:03:20You think we'll get a slice of that wedding cake?
00:03:22I heard Mrs. Kingsley is marrying some rich bastard with trust fund money.
00:03:26At least they can do what's giving us some good food and booze.
00:03:29Let's talk.
00:03:30Thought they sent us to do some patrol to some empty church?
00:03:33Look around, man.
00:03:35Not a soul in sight.
00:03:37Even the stray cats around here have better things to do.
00:03:42I take that back.
00:03:44Our bride's rolling up.
00:03:46Showtime, baby.
00:04:10Skip the speeches, no pictures, no champagne tower.
00:04:14I want this wrapped up in 30 minutes.
00:04:17Um, boss, nobody's here.
00:04:20Not even the groom.
00:04:24Where is everyone?
00:04:25I just got word the groom's backed out.
00:04:28He said...
00:04:30Said what?
00:04:31He said that if you're the one that Tristan Vann wants, no man in the city will dare to marry
00:04:36you.
00:04:38Tell Tristan to leave me the hell alone.
00:04:41That idiot doesn't get to decide how I live my life.
00:04:44But, boss, the deadline for your marriage is coming up.
00:04:47If you don't get married soon, then they'll...
00:04:49Take back my parents' company, right?
00:04:52My parents might be dead.
00:04:54And my brother might have gone missing.
00:04:56But no one's touching our family business.
00:05:09Congratulations on the wedding, Ms. Kingsley.
00:05:14Who are you?
00:05:16Cole Slade.
00:05:17You married?
00:05:18No.
00:05:19Girlfriend?
00:05:20Also no.
00:05:21Good.
00:05:22Then you can marry me.
00:05:31Sorry, no can do.
00:05:35It's purely transactional.
00:05:37I'll pay you a salary for every month that you're my husband.
00:05:4120K.
00:05:42How does that sound?
00:05:44After a year, we can get divorced.
00:05:46Still no.
00:05:49Do you know who I am?
00:05:51I'm Victoria Kingsley.
00:05:53CEO of Kingsley Tech.
00:05:58Fine.
00:05:59Name your price.
00:06:00I know who you are, Ms. Kingsley.
00:06:02That's exactly why I can't marry you.
00:06:04You're the sister of my best friend.
00:06:06Someone I swore to protect.
00:06:08Not everything is about me.
00:06:09Seriously?
00:06:10You're a goddamn security guard.
00:06:12You have no right to turn down my boss.
00:06:14No, no.
00:06:15It's fine.
00:06:17I'll handle this.
00:06:19You try to put out the fires with my family.
00:06:39Tristan Ban.
00:06:42Kingsley's arch nemesis.
00:06:48What is he doing here?
00:06:58Move it, car dog.
00:07:05Alex, I can't do this anymore.
00:07:10Where are you?
00:07:13Oh, Vicky.
00:07:15I heard you were in the market for a groom.
00:07:20Alex, looks like your sister's in trouble.
00:07:25Who the hell let you in here?
00:07:27Victoria Kingsley.
00:07:29You know how much I love you.
00:07:33Marry me.
00:07:34And you know I'd rather die than marry you.
00:07:38Oh, baby.
00:07:38But then, you lose Kingsley Corp.
00:07:42Newsflash, every man in the city knows you're mine.
00:07:47No one's gonna marry you, sweet cheeks.
00:07:50It's either me or nothing.
00:07:52But then, your ass is mine.
00:07:57Not in a million years, you scumbag.
00:08:00You think I don't know?
00:08:02You're just after the quantum chip tech my parents left behind.
00:08:05And marrying me happens to be the fastest, cleanest way to get your hands on it.
00:08:09All right.
00:08:11He caught me.
00:08:13Come on then.
00:08:14Let's make this marriage official.
00:08:17Get off me!
00:08:21Go ahead.
00:08:22Scream your little heart out.
00:08:32No, where the hell are you going?
00:08:33I'm going in.
00:08:36No man is brave enough to play savior from this kingdom.
00:08:57I am.
00:08:59Who the fuck are you?
00:09:00Leave him alone.
00:09:01He has nothing to do with this.
00:09:04This guy must have a death wish.
00:09:07You think you can come in here and play hero?
00:09:11Do you know who the fuck I am?
00:09:13I don't give a shit who you are.
00:09:16Victoria is my fiance.
00:09:21You.
00:09:22Married Victoria Kingsley.
00:09:25Don't make me laugh.
00:09:26That's right.
00:09:27We're getting married and there's nothing you can do to change that, Tristan.
00:09:31Sorry, buddy.
00:09:32And you're going out on the body bag.
00:09:34Victoria is mine.
00:09:37Kill this cocky piece of shit.
00:09:39Let's go.
00:10:06You can't just be a security guard.
00:10:10But I am.
00:10:19Easy there, bud.
00:10:21I don't get too trigger happy.
00:10:23And your hands on a woman doesn't make you a man.
00:10:25You want to fight?
00:10:27Try someone your own size.
00:10:28You're pretty tough for a guard, dog.
00:10:31I'll give you that.
00:10:32Do you think this shit scares me?
00:10:37Kingsley Banquet's tonight.
00:10:39I'm going to make sure everyone hears that you married a security guard.
00:10:45Let's see how long it takes your family to disown you.
00:10:47Is that a threat?
00:10:48No, just the truth.
00:10:51The Kingsleys are broke, Vicky.
00:10:57You think this runicops is going to fix that?
00:11:01Well, if I can't fix it.
00:11:06No, no, no, if you kill me, the Kingsleys are finished.
00:11:13We'll see about that.
00:11:15Fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:11:16We'll have a civilized discussion at the banquet.
00:11:19Please, don't kill me.
00:11:25Get the fuck out.
00:11:32Thanks for saving me just now.
00:11:34You okay?
00:11:37Cole.
00:11:52Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:11:54Will you marry me?
00:11:58Marry you.
00:11:59I've got the city's biggest crime boss, Tristan Van, breathing down your neck, and you want me to marry you?
00:12:05Is this supposed to be a thank you or a death sentence?
00:12:08You're right.
00:12:09It's too much to ask.
00:12:22But I happen to like a good challenge.
00:12:28So, yeah, Victoria, I'll marry you.
00:12:32Really?
00:12:33Let's go make it official.
00:12:35Alex, if Marry and your sister is the only way to protect her, then I got to do what I
00:12:39got to do.
00:12:40I hope you're not mad at me, brother.
00:12:42Let's go.
00:12:47Oh, my God, boss, you did it.
00:12:48You really did it.
00:12:50This means you saved your parents' company.
00:12:52Yes, yes.
00:12:53Keep your voice down, Emily.
00:12:55By the way, husband, tomorrow's our family banquet.
00:12:59You're coming with me.
00:13:00Your call.
00:13:02And?
00:13:06Here's a hundred grand.
00:13:08I need you to get a gift for the banquet.
00:13:11Call it a wedding gift from my husband to the Kingsley's.
00:13:15Got it?
00:13:16But, boss, a hundred grand gift isn't going to make them forget you married a security guard.
00:13:22Let's just hope it works.
00:13:24I've got to get back to the office.
00:13:28Alex, you're right.
00:13:31Kingsley family really is a snake pit.
00:13:34Yeah, it's me.
00:13:36Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kingsley family.
00:13:39Oh.
00:13:40Make it big.
00:13:50Mr. Conrad Kingsley, I heard you just closed the East Coast port deal at the insistence of your father, Alistair.
00:13:57It was very impressive.
00:13:58It's just another small win for the family.
00:14:00Nothing to brag about.
00:14:21Mr. Kingsley, it's many more years of good health and fortune.
00:14:25How's father Alistair?
00:14:27I've been praying for him.
00:14:30I have been planning on leading the Kingsley legacy for years.
00:14:34He's fine.
00:14:37Just a little something to keep the Kingsley family shiny.
00:14:43What is it?
00:14:44Jesus!
00:14:45That's the legendary revolver from Elvis Presley's private collection.
00:14:50Last I heard, it was going for three million.
00:14:52That is a very generous gift.
00:14:54Three million, that's got to be worth at least five.
00:14:57Van family certainly knows how to make an entrance.
00:14:59A little bird told me that you've been courting my niece, Victoria.
00:15:02That's too bad.
00:15:04Because Miss Victoria's giving a heart to someone else.
00:15:08Has she?
00:15:29Who is that with Victoria?
00:15:32Her security guard.
00:15:35Wow, the mighty Kingsleys really have fallen since their grandfather, Alistair Kingsley, is sick.
00:15:42I heard they're barely hanging on under Conrad's leadership.
00:15:46Tristan was supposed to bail them out.
00:15:48I guess Victoria's lost it.
00:15:51Victoria, who is this?
00:15:52Uncle, this is Cole Slade.
00:15:55My husband.
00:15:57Husband.
00:15:59You trying to kill your grandfather?
00:16:02You're young, you know, throw tantrums, but marriage is not a game.
00:16:05This isn't a tantrum.
00:16:07And it's not about money, either.
00:16:09I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:16:13Wow.
00:16:15Now that you're married niece?
00:16:17Tristan, maybe our families can join together through my daughter, Serena.
00:16:22You know, this is a family banquet.
00:16:24You didn't come empty-handed, did you?
00:16:27Tristan brought a 5-mil revolver for Grandpa.
00:16:30What about you, Vicky?
00:16:32What did you bring?
00:16:33Oh, shoot.
00:16:34I only gave Cole a hundred grand.
00:16:36Tristan dropped 5-mil?
00:16:38We're screwed.
00:16:40Of course we did.
00:16:48Cole, you actually brought something?
00:16:51Of course we brought a gift.
00:16:53Well, let's see what he's got.
00:16:55Perhaps Mr. Slade is a secret billionaire.
00:17:11What is this?
00:17:12Seriously?
00:17:14That's the gift?
00:17:15It looks like some toy from a dollar store's clearance pin.
00:17:22Victoria, not to lecture you, but this is a family banquet.
00:17:24You can't just phone it in.
00:17:26But a security guard is a security guard.
00:17:30Cole, I thought I gave you a hundred grand house.
00:17:34Now, are you sure you don't want to know what that badge is actually worth?
00:17:39Go on.
00:17:40I'm listening.
00:17:41Let's see what kind of crap this security guard can spend.
00:17:44Let me guess.
00:17:46My dear cousin-in-law is going to tell us that this is some sort of secret society emblem.
00:17:52Let the kid talk.
00:17:53This is the Shadow Alliance badge.
00:17:58Whoever holds it can move capital and access assets at will.
00:18:03Oh my gosh.
00:18:05The Shadow Alliance holds sway over governments and the criminal underworld.
00:18:09They practically learn the whole world.
00:18:10With this badge, the Kingsley's can finally get their hands on that trans-Pacific trade route permit they've been dreaming
00:18:16about for years.
00:18:18Wait.
00:18:19Did you just say the Shadow Alliance?
00:18:22You mean the infamous League of Military Veterans?
00:18:28Who are you?
00:18:29And what are you doing with the Shadow Alliance's badge?
00:18:31I'm the founder of the Shadow Alliance.
00:18:34This badge is my ID.
00:18:37It carries my authority.
00:18:39This Rent-A-Cop, the founder of the Shadow Alliance?
00:18:43Don't make me laugh.
00:18:45Vicky, your man got a PhD in bullshit or what?
00:18:49Yo, security guy.
00:18:50Do you need us to call you a shrink?
00:18:54Hey, did you just pocket that hundred grand I gave you and now you're spending these lives to cover it
00:18:59up?
00:18:59Of course not, Victoria.
00:19:02Everything I'm telling them is true.
00:19:05Get out.
00:19:06And don't show your face around here again, especially in front of your grandfather.
00:19:14This badge was a gift for Alistair, given out of respect for Victoria.
00:19:19You know, it's a shame none of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:19:24But luckily, I brought back up.
00:19:29Victoria said her grandfather was a collector of Renaissance art, so I had my people send this over right away.
00:19:41The original, Mona Lisa.
00:19:45So what do you think?
00:19:47A little more to your liking?
00:19:50This can't be real.
00:19:52That painting is worth ten billion.
00:19:57Mission accomplished.
00:20:02Wait, boss.
00:20:03Didn't you just give him a hundred grand?
00:20:05Where did the ten billion come from?
00:20:07I have no idea.
00:20:09This is one of the nicest gifts we've ever received.
00:20:12Might actually get your grandfather out of bed.
00:20:15What's the point?
00:20:16You ran him off.
00:20:18Oh.
00:20:19Mr. Slade is a very generous man.
00:20:23What are you waiting for?
00:20:25Go chase after him.
00:20:27Bring him back here so your grandfather can meet him.
00:20:29Having gold diggers as family is humiliating.
00:20:47Ten billion blown.
00:20:49Couldn't even get a decent meal out of it.
00:20:52A bunch of money-hungry jackasses.
00:20:55Couldn't even cover a burger.
00:21:00Really?
00:21:01A guy who could pull out ten billion without blinking is eating this?
00:21:05Well, it beats hanging out with someone who wouldn't even buy me one of these.
00:21:11Get in.
00:21:24So, where are we going?
00:21:26Home.
00:21:27Oh.
00:21:29We've been a little quick, aren't we?
00:21:31I'm cooking.
00:21:33Just figured I'd think you properly.
00:21:36Hold on.
00:21:37Okay.
00:21:38Victoria Kingsley.
00:21:39In the kitchen.
00:21:41Wow.
00:21:42Okay.
00:21:42You know what?
00:21:43I'm going to have to record this.
00:21:44Just so we can have it as part of our family history.
00:21:47By my phone.
00:21:49Oh, shut up.
00:21:50Buckle up.
00:21:55This used to be my parents' place.
00:21:57Security is solid.
00:21:59Make yourself comfortable.
00:22:00I'm going to go change.
00:22:09I'm going to go change.
00:22:17How's steak sound?
00:22:18Wow.
00:22:19You actually cook.
00:22:20I thought you just signed checks.
00:22:23There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:22:26That ten billion.
00:22:28Where did it actually come from?
00:22:32Well, you gave it to me, remember?
00:22:37Me?
00:22:37No, it was...
00:22:45Are you crazy?
00:22:52Are you crazy?
00:23:06Security's solid, huh?
00:23:09How did you know this place was bugged?
00:23:12Occupational hazard?
00:23:14Security guards supposed to keep things secure, right?
00:23:17A security guard who throws around 10 billion like it's pocket change?
00:23:23I'll pay you back soon.
00:23:25Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel
00:23:29to decide on the next big partnership.
00:23:40That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:23:43The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:23:48You're telling me this little thing's that powerful?
00:23:51We'll see.
00:23:52Fine.
00:23:54I owe you.
00:23:56Twice.
00:23:57Yeah, yeah, the gift.
00:23:59And our marriage, which by the way...
00:24:02What?
00:24:04Is a contract.
00:24:06So we need rules.
00:24:09I'm listening.
00:24:12Rule number one, stay out of each other's love lives.
00:24:16Fair.
00:24:17Rule number two, my place isn't safe anymore.
00:24:20My grandpa and uncle will just keep spying on us, so...
00:24:23So we act like the perfect couple.
00:24:29Luckily for you, I am really good at faking it.
00:24:35Rule three.
00:24:38My bedroom is off limits.
00:24:41To everyone.
00:24:43But me.
00:24:46Especially.
00:24:48No kissing, no sex.
00:24:50No kissing, no sex.
00:24:51Yeah.
00:24:53Really, it'd be the perfect couple.
00:24:56Not my problem.
00:25:02Um...
00:25:07No eggs tonight.
00:25:09You're allergic.
00:25:12How did you know that?
00:25:14You're spying on me too?
00:25:17Relax.
00:25:19Just break room gossip, that's all.
00:25:21Victoria Kingsley breaks out in hives when she has eggs.
00:25:25What is that worth?
00:25:26A million bucks?
00:25:28My allergies are none of your business.
00:25:31Just sit down and wait.
00:25:33Dinner will be ready soon.
00:26:08Surveillance, too.
00:26:10Just like I thought.
00:26:12Surveillance, too.
00:26:19Surveillance, too.
00:26:22Just like I thought.
00:26:50I told him not kissing.
00:26:53But we did it again.
00:26:55Why can't I resist him?
00:27:05Damn, wifey.
00:27:06That was Oscar worthy.
00:27:08It was an accident.
00:27:11Honey, the steak's burning.
00:27:22You did that on purpose.
00:27:24Just another day in married life.
00:27:26Now, about that accidental kissing thing.
00:27:30Shut up.
00:27:32Need a hand, wifey?
00:27:33Call me that again and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:27:36Icedy.
00:27:38Like it.
00:28:00It's like these two are getting along.
00:28:03Better than we expected.
00:28:05Dad.
00:28:06Doesn't this seem off?
00:28:10That coal guy just casually drops 10 billion, but he's working as a security guard.
00:28:15All the bugs are dead?
00:28:17Every single one.
00:28:18And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:28:23Interesting.
00:28:24Seems our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:28:29Mm-hmm.
00:28:30And you ran all the usual checks?
00:28:31I went through all the contacts we have.
00:28:34Still nothing.
00:28:36No bank accounts.
00:28:37No credit history.
00:28:39Not even a parking ticket.
00:28:42There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:28:46The spies.
00:28:48The dead.
00:28:52And those richer than us.
00:28:55So which one is he?
00:28:57Excuse him, Miss. You can't enter.
00:28:59Get out of my way.
00:29:01I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley.
00:29:06So it was you.
00:29:09You planted the bugs.
00:29:12Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:29:14Protect it?
00:29:15You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:29:18Enough!
00:29:23Victoria, who is this coal?
00:29:27Some hotshot?
00:29:28Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:29:31A hotshot?
00:29:32He's just our company's security guard.
00:29:37You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:29:40You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:29:43Explain the $10 billion.
00:29:45There's only two options here.
00:29:47One, you funneled company funds.
00:29:52Or two, the gifts are fakes.
00:30:00All of them.
00:30:05There's no $10 billion in your company accounts, so that only leaves one option.
00:30:10The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:30:13Knockoffs?
00:30:14Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:30:18Told you, Dad.
00:30:19She's always been a stain on this family.
00:30:23Stop making assumptions.
00:30:25Just because you don't know who coal is, doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:30:28Shut up!
00:30:29The Kingsley legacy is not yours to sell off to some rent-a-cop.
00:30:31No, you shut up!
00:30:32Even if the gifts are fake, I would still never marry Tristan.
00:30:35Ever!
00:30:41Serena, from now on, I want you to spend more time with Tristan Vann.
00:30:46The Kingsleys need the Vann family support now more than ever.
00:30:51Yes, Dad.
00:30:52I'll give him a call.
00:30:59The Vann family has a real pull with the Shadow Alliance.
00:31:02We will secure their deal in three days' time with the Vann family support.
00:31:07By our side.
00:31:10Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel.
00:31:15To decide on the next big partnership.
00:31:20That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:31:22The smoother goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:31:28The Vanns have the power to open the door.
00:31:31We just have to follow their lead.
00:31:33And take our cut.
00:31:36Tori, when everything ends, I want you to resign.
00:31:40It's time to rethink who runs the family business.
00:31:45Dearest cousin.
00:31:48What do we do with this pile of junk from your rent-a-cop boyfriend?
00:31:52Burn it.
00:31:54All of it.
00:31:56The Kingsley house is no place for a cheap print.
00:32:04No, wait.
00:32:06Just wait, it's not...
00:32:08Wait!
00:32:18Miss Kingsley, you can't come in!
00:32:19No, no, stop!
00:32:20What are you doing?
00:32:21It's for real Mona Lisa!
00:32:26No!
00:32:27Stop!
00:32:28No!
00:32:43Stop!
00:32:45They were real!
00:32:46Oh, little princess living in your fairy tale.
00:32:52Let this be a warning to you!
00:32:54You'll regret this!
00:32:55No!
00:32:57You will regret this.
00:32:59Once I marry Tristan, you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband!
00:33:17You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to shop in my place like this.
00:33:27You could get yourself killed.
00:33:34Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:33:38You're miles above her.
00:33:44You know why the Van family gets an invite?
00:33:48Because we do anything for the Shadow Alliance.
00:33:54Anything.
00:33:56That's something you and I have in common.
00:34:00If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance...
00:34:06I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:34:15See?
00:34:16You're not...
00:34:18in a position...
00:34:20to negotiate.
00:34:26You're right.
00:34:28There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:34:34Which one's your favorite?
00:34:38The one where you're...
00:34:40on your knees?
00:34:43Now we're talking.
00:34:45You're right.
00:35:06You're right.
00:35:07Since I've realized your talents, I believe I can get the King's Lead to the Summit.
00:35:13Oh, Mr. Van.
00:35:15I knew you would come to your senses.
00:35:17A man of your talents?
00:35:20Nothing's impossible.
00:35:22You haven't heard the cost yet.
00:35:25You have a lot of work to do.
00:35:31to earn...
00:35:33the privilege of an invite.
00:35:35That was only a taste of what I'm capable of.
00:35:39Well, I guess I have to find out that...
00:35:42later.
00:35:43But...
00:35:44now...
00:35:45I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:35:48Victoria's company?
00:35:50It's been falling apart ever since her parents died.
00:35:54I'm serious.
00:35:56If it didn't have the King's name on it...
00:35:58nobody in my family would even care about it.
00:36:01That's not your problem.
00:36:03Do...
00:36:04what I say...
00:36:06or you'll be left with nothing.
00:36:10Alright.
00:36:12Good thing we still have an insider in her company.
00:36:15Hm.
00:36:17That's better.
00:36:28Three days into the Summit.
00:36:30I have to lock priority access.
00:36:36Power outage?
00:36:58Paul?
00:37:01Mike?
00:37:03Anybody?
00:37:19Who's there?
00:37:24I just heard of this.
00:37:28There.
00:37:29There.
00:37:29There.
00:37:47What'd you say?
00:37:50The...
00:37:51The...
00:37:54The...
00:37:54The...
00:37:54The...
00:37:55The...
00:37:58The...
00:37:59It should be...
00:38:01Tech department, now!
00:38:04Who are you?
00:38:05You really can't tell?
00:38:08It's you?
00:38:16Emily!
00:38:17It's you?
00:38:19Surprise.
00:38:20Emily, since the day you've joined this company,
00:38:23vacations, bonuses, raises, you've had everything.
00:38:26Why'd you turn your back on me?
00:38:28Quit!
00:38:29Why?
00:38:29What's the meaning?
00:38:31You've been good to me, Victoria,
00:38:32but the Van family's offering more.
00:38:36Why wouldn't I take it?
00:38:43I am your employee, not your slave.
00:38:47I've got a better deal now,
00:38:49and you should be happy for me.
00:38:51Emily, you've let money blind you.
00:38:54Shut up!
00:38:56You're taking me to the tech department, now!
00:39:04Move it!
00:39:05Move it!
00:39:16Finally!
00:39:17Finally, Tristan gets what he wants!
00:39:20Not so fast.
00:39:22Not so fast.
00:39:22What's that supposed to mean?
00:39:23This tech is split into three parts.
00:39:27You've only got one of them.
00:39:29Where's the rest?
00:39:31Tell me!
00:39:32You wish!
00:39:34Then die!
00:39:36Then die!
00:39:43It's a cute toy.
00:39:45It hardly even stings.
00:39:46Blood enough to make you kill everybody.
00:39:54You're good.
00:39:56You're good.
00:39:57You're good.
00:40:18Yeah, I-I-I'm fine.
00:40:21I just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:40:25What's Tristan after, anyway?
00:40:27That's worth going this far.
00:40:30The quantum chip tech.
00:40:33My parents' last research.
00:40:36From the sham engagement to buying off my uncle, every move led to this.
00:40:40I just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:40:44Say the word and I'll make them all disappear.
00:40:48No.
00:40:49It's fine.
00:40:51I'll figure something out.
00:40:52How?
00:40:53As long as we land new deals,
00:40:56you won't have any hold over us.
00:41:05Motherfucker!
00:41:09It's Cole again!
00:41:10He's fucking all up!
00:41:12Little fucking mutt!
00:41:15Easy, babe.
00:41:17I know how to deal with Cole.
00:41:19I have an idea.
00:41:21Oh, yeah?
00:41:23What?
00:41:25No matter how tough you are,
00:41:29if a woman's got your interest,
00:41:32you're done for.
00:41:34I like that.
00:41:35I like that, right.
00:41:55Who is this?
00:41:56Come on, Cole.
00:41:58Don't be so mean.
00:41:59I'm just trying to help.
00:42:00Listen.
00:42:01The Van family's been looking into Victoria.
00:42:04What's your point?
00:42:06All right, all right.
00:42:08My point is,
00:42:09they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:42:12And if it leaks,
00:42:13she's screwed.
00:42:15Who the hell are you?
00:42:17What do you want?
00:42:18Relax.
00:42:19I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:42:21Just meet me at the bar tonight,
00:42:238 o'clock.
00:42:24And maybe,
00:42:25I'll take care of this for you.
00:42:33Cole, what's going on, man?
00:42:34I've got to head out for a bit.
00:42:36Keep an eye on Victoria.
00:42:37If anything happens,
00:42:39call me.
00:43:17I've got to know for you.
00:43:23Take it easy, good guy.
00:44:02Take it easy, good guy.
00:44:25You're lucky I don't hate women.
00:44:28What if you keep pushing me?
00:44:32I will.
00:44:35Just join me for a drink.
00:44:39For Victoria and her company.
00:44:44I knew that name would get you back.
00:44:53Cut the crap.
00:44:55You're not getting anywhere near Victoria.
00:44:57I'm not going to let that happen.
00:45:00Have your drink.
00:45:03And then...
00:45:05I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:45:22Call me, you asshole.
00:45:34Tell me now.
00:45:45The truck man.
00:45:47No.
00:45:48Better.
00:45:50It's my own special blend.
00:45:52It's an aphrodisiac.
00:45:58You got two options.
00:46:01One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you the antidote.
00:46:07Or two, we skip the business.
00:46:11We have a little bit of fun.
00:46:13And she can find out the messy way.
00:46:15No, no.
00:46:16Don't move.
00:46:18Don't move.
00:46:28Thanks for watching over, my husband.
00:46:30He's coming home with me now.
00:46:32Oh, no.
00:46:33Sweetheartedly, so he's here and he's mine.
00:46:37I'm sorry.
00:46:39Nothing happened between us this week.
00:46:41I know.
00:46:42You have better taste than this.
00:46:45Excuse me?
00:46:47Come on, Cole.
00:46:48Let's go home.
00:46:58It's too hot.
00:47:00I can't breathe.
00:47:06I can't breathe.
00:47:10Cole Slade.
00:47:12Zero number zero nine two four one four.
00:47:17My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:47:22Who are you?
00:47:27Cole!
00:47:47Did you just kiss me?
00:48:10How the hell did I end up here?
00:48:16Cole!
00:48:17Cole!
00:48:36Good morning.
00:48:40Good morning.
00:48:44Good morning.
00:48:48Last night, did we, um...
00:48:50Nope.
00:48:52Nothing happened.
00:48:59You seem almost happy about that.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:06You were in the military?
00:49:09Um, no.
00:49:12No.
00:49:19What are you looking at?
00:49:21Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. director.
00:49:25What?
00:49:27It's a woman.
00:49:29Yeah, I know Amber's a woman.
00:49:32How did you know her name is Amber?
00:49:38Why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:49:42Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:49:46Odds are it'll be the Van family.
00:49:48If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:49:53So you want to use the Shadow Alliance to protect it?
00:49:56Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:50:00Doesn't your family already have one?
00:50:01Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:50:04Why?
00:50:05I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:50:08They burned it.
00:50:11Said it was a knockoff.
00:50:13I'll pay you back.
00:50:20If I get you that evening.
00:50:29Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:50:39Come again?
00:50:42Nothing.
00:50:49If you can really get me that invite,
00:50:55I will do
00:50:59anything you want.
00:51:03Just carry that badge with you.
00:51:06I'll take care of the rest.
00:51:10Hmm.
00:51:17Go on ahead.
00:51:20You're not coming in with me?
00:51:22I'll catch up.
00:51:34Give me an invite to the summer.
00:51:37The best one you got.
00:51:39Now.
00:51:50Cole, they've already kicked out two execs for not having invites.
00:51:53If we can't...
00:51:54Hey, hey.
00:51:55Don't worry.
00:51:57Not only are you getting in,
00:51:59you're also walking out with the deal.
00:52:01Oh, yeah, right.
00:52:03If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me and keep my parents' research safe, that's all I
00:52:08need.
00:52:08Victoria, you have to trust me.
00:52:11Say hi.
00:52:12Ha!
00:52:14Got you, Cole.
00:52:24Oh, come on, Cole.
00:52:26Don't you miss me?
00:52:27I missed you so much.
00:52:29Okay, you have got to knock it off.
00:52:32I'm just friends with your dad.
00:52:34That's it.
00:52:35Who cares?
00:52:37I like you, and I'm not letting go.
00:52:40Come on.
00:52:41Hand it.
00:52:42Hand it.
00:52:43Victoria.
00:52:49Miss Cross.
00:52:51My wife does not like that.
00:52:55Now.
00:52:57The invite.
00:52:58Here.
00:52:59The Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:53:03Thanks.
00:53:04Ah!
00:53:05Hold up.
00:53:06You're really going to give out this invite?
00:53:08This invite is worth a fortune.
00:53:10No one else has ever gotten one.
00:53:12This is the first and the only.
00:53:16I know.
00:53:18But it's for my wife.
00:53:22Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:53:27I've got to see what kind of woman has got Cole all hung up.
00:53:32Victoria.
00:53:33Wait.
00:53:34Look, she's just a friend.
00:53:36That's all.
00:53:37Don't touch me.
00:53:38Go away.
00:53:39Come.
00:53:40Come on.
00:53:40Come on.
00:53:53Trust me.
00:53:55She's just a friend.
00:53:57She came to drop off the invite.
00:53:59That's all.
00:54:01Yeah, right.
00:54:02Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left, another on the right.
00:54:06Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:54:12You feel that?
00:54:14It only beats for you.
00:54:18Just you.
00:54:26Here.
00:54:29The invite?
00:54:31The invite?
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:32That's how it's about to begin.
00:54:34Let's head in.
00:54:37I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:54:54Hello.
00:55:00Hello.
00:55:02Grandpa.
00:55:04Tristan's cousin is the host tonight.
00:55:07Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like this.
00:55:12Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan.
00:55:14And to you.
00:55:15You're the reason he's helping us.
00:55:17Oh, Grandpa, it's the least I can do.
00:55:20You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:55:25Well, after the summit, I'm going to take Victoria's title and positions away.
00:55:30She is not fit to be the CEO.
00:55:35Victoria.
00:55:37I told you marrying me is your best option.
00:55:40But you didn't listen.
00:55:42Once Serena takes over as CEO, your parents' research will still end up in my hands.
00:55:47And when that day comes, you'll be mine.
00:55:51Just something to use, however I want.
00:55:57Is it that Victorian call?
00:56:03What the hell are they doing here?
00:56:11Mr. Kingsley.
00:56:15Grandpa?
00:56:17Victoria, coming in under Tristan's name is one thing.
00:56:20But to bring this, this guy who tried to pass off a fake?
00:56:24I didn't think you'd sink this low.
00:56:27Grandpa, I don't understand.
00:56:28I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be here.
00:56:34And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:56:36I'm sure if you got that invite yourself, but you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:56:42Showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:56:48I'm here because I got the invite myself.
00:56:51Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:56:54Oh, come on, Vicky.
00:56:56This is a business event?
00:56:58Not a beauty pageant.
00:57:00No one's looking for eye candy.
00:57:03If I was you, I'd walk out of here right now.
00:57:07You come in over here.
00:57:09Trying to steal the spotlight is embarrassing.
00:57:13Why don't you take a good look?
00:57:17You really think you got that on your own?
00:57:20More like a host handed it off because you're still riding on Tristan's coattails.
00:57:27That's weird.
00:57:29I never told the host to let her in.
00:57:31There's only one way that's possible.
00:57:34It's fake.
00:57:44Can you believe it?
00:57:45Someone actually faked a Shadow Alliance invite.
00:57:49That's insane.
00:57:51If people were to find out the entire Kingsley Empire is done.
00:57:55No, no, you've got it wrong.
00:57:59It doesn't matter if this invite is real or.
00:58:03That's not your call to me.
00:58:05Shut up!
00:58:06Are you trying to drag this family down?
00:58:09Victoria, you need to get this useless man out of here now!
00:58:15Vicky, look what you've done to Grandpa.
00:58:18Apologize now!
00:58:19Could this invite actually be fake?
00:58:22Oh, let's go.
00:58:24Wait.
00:58:26Why are you guys running?
00:58:28You were so confident that invite was real.
00:58:33Well, if my invite is fake.
00:58:37Well, then this entire event is a sham and we can go home.
00:58:42Prove it.
00:58:44Open it up.
00:58:46And show us.
00:58:48Yeah.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:49Let us see it.
00:58:50Open it up.
00:58:51Yeah, open it up.
00:58:52Open it!
00:58:53Open it!
00:58:57Open it!
00:58:58Open it!
00:58:58Open it!
00:59:01Come on, bud.
00:59:03Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:59:07Now you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:59:13Damn right.
00:59:15You know what?
00:59:16Let's make it interesting.
00:59:17If that invite is forged, I'll break your leg.
00:59:23She hands over the quantum chip.
00:59:26And if it's real.
00:59:29And I'll kneel down and kiss your shoes.
00:59:32I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
00:59:36Deal.
00:59:49You call that an invitation?
00:59:52Oh, my God.
00:59:53You have got to be kidding me.
00:59:55Nice.
00:59:59You see this?
01:00:01Oh, man.
01:00:02This is the sloppiest fake I've ever seen.
01:00:05Hey, listen up, genius.
01:00:07Shadow Alliance invites come in black for standard and blue for VIPs.
01:00:14Vicky, if you're gonna fake one, at least do your research first.
01:00:20Grandpa was right.
01:00:22You don't deserve to lead the Kingsley family.
01:00:27Victoria, you have brought this on yourself.
01:00:30You are turning this family into a complete joke.
01:00:34Who said it's fake?
01:00:36Cut the crap.
01:00:37Like I said, this is Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:00:43Only one's ever been sent out since it's been founded.
01:00:46Makes sense.
01:00:47They've never seen it before.
01:00:49That doesn't mean it's fake.
01:00:52Enough, Cole.
01:00:54Everyone here doesn't believe a word you say.
01:00:57I'm about to make you regret running your mouth.
01:01:00Grab him.
01:01:03I'll break his leg myself.
01:01:20That is the Lester Duvall.
01:01:24He is from the Shadow Alliance.
01:01:28I heard he handles everything.
01:01:30All the Shadow Alliance's outside business.
01:01:32I can't believe we're actually getting to see him in person.
01:01:35If I could work with him, I'd be on Wall Street in no time.
01:01:39You wish.
01:01:40The Shadow Alliance is definitely going to pick Tristan as their new partner for sure.
01:01:44The Kingsley family's already hanging on them.
01:01:47Tristan, sounds like you're going to be the star tonight.
01:01:50Hmm.
01:01:51Lucky you, Vicky.
01:01:52Even with a fake invite, you still get to meet Mr. Duvall.
01:01:57Once you become the Shadow Alliance's new leader, you'll introduce me to Mr. Duvall, right?
01:02:01Of course.
01:02:03My family is counting on you.
01:02:07Don't worry.
01:02:08I got it.
01:02:10But from now on, Serena Kingsley runs the family company.
01:02:16Yes, of course.
01:02:17Of course.
01:02:18Don't worry.
01:02:19You're going to be the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:02:24Always changing that.
01:02:25Yeah.
01:02:26We'll see how long that lasts.
01:02:31Mr. Duvall, this is Tristan Vann, heir to the Vann's richest family in the state.
01:02:37And he's my cousin.
01:02:38It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Duvall.
01:02:43Oh, this is Serena Kingsley, the new appointed CEO of the Kingsley Company.
01:02:50Mr. Duvall, it's a pleasure.
01:02:54Tristan, Mr. Duvall is picking the Shadow Alliance's new partner tonight.
01:02:59Don't mess it up.
01:03:00Got it.
01:03:01Mr. Duvall, if you pick me, I will not let the Shadow Alliance down.
01:03:07Which one of them did Ms. Cross tell me to look after?
01:03:12Didn't you say Victoria would be the new partner for the Shadow Alliance?
01:03:16Looks like she couldn't even get a nod from Mr. Duvall.
01:03:19He's probably just scared Mr. Duvall's going to find out the invite's fate.
01:03:24That's why he's keeping his mouth shut.
01:03:28The event's just started.
01:03:31Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:03:35Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shadow Alliance Summit.
01:03:38And please welcome Mr. Lester Duvall from the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:48Tonight's agenda is simple.
01:03:50Mr. Duvall will be selecting the Shadow Alliance's new partner
01:03:53and donating $50 billion to the quantum chip research.
01:03:59Yes.
01:04:01This is our shot.
01:04:03If you would like to be considered, step forward now.
01:04:08Get back there.
01:04:10The Vann family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:04:14Mr. Duvall, the Vann's are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:04:21Nice job, Tristan.
01:04:24Don't grab.
01:04:25If there are no other candidates, I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:04:30I'm in.
01:04:33I want that partnership, too.
01:04:37Victoria, stop it!
01:04:39Tristan is the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:04:41Quit embarrassing us!
01:04:43Vicky, I know you want the spotlight,
01:04:46but don't embarrass our family for your ego.
01:04:51Aren't you a Kingsley, too?
01:04:53Mr. Duvall, you can forget about her.
01:04:56Serena is our new CEO.
01:04:58That is all you need to know.
01:05:00Victoria never said she wants to become the Shadow Alliance's partner as part of the Kingsley family.
01:05:05And what does that mean?
01:05:06She's starting her own company.
01:05:09Under her name.
01:05:12Are you serious?
01:05:13A shell company partnering with the Shadow Alliance?
01:05:16Do you think everyone's dumb enough to believe that?
01:05:19You got in here on a fake invite.
01:05:22Don't push your luck.
01:05:23Someone forged a Shadow Alliance invite?
01:05:30You know, since the Shadow Alliance started,
01:05:34there were two people that forged an invite.
01:05:38And they paid the price.
01:05:42Didn't think I'll see such a fool today.
01:05:45What's the matter?
01:05:47Didn't think Mr. Duvall would show up in person?
01:05:49When I show him this fake invite,
01:05:55your cover's blown.
01:05:56And you're done.
01:05:58Cool.
01:06:01Oh, wait.
01:06:04Mr. Duvall, here it is.
01:06:08That's the most exclusive invite to the Summit.
01:06:12This is the cheapest fake I've ever seen.
01:06:15And an outright insult to you.
01:06:18Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:06:21Stop!
01:06:27Mr. Duvall, where are you?
01:06:30That's right.
01:06:31This really is the Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:06:35Mr. Duvall, it's just a fake.
01:06:36Shut up!
01:06:38Oh, my God.
01:06:41Mr. Slade.
01:06:43This is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:06:47You have access to all of our properties.
01:06:49No interference.
01:06:51Mr. Duvall, what?
01:06:51He doesn't have the authority to get someone like this.
01:06:54Are you going to question my judgment?
01:06:57Not now.
01:06:59Focus on securing the partnership first.
01:07:02We'll deal with the rest once this is over.
01:07:07Vicky, partnerships run on resources.
01:07:11Without the Kingsleys, what can you even do?
01:07:15Victoria, if you are bound and determined to start your own company, the Kingsley family
01:07:22will give you nothing.
01:07:25Well, sure.
01:07:26Victoria's company is new.
01:07:28It doesn't have all the resources it needs yet.
01:07:31But we have something you can't say no to.
01:07:35If you make Victoria your new partner, you're going to make someone really happy.
01:07:40Are you nuts?
01:07:41$50 billion to make one person happy?
01:07:44You think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid to believe that?
01:07:49Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:07:52Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:07:55Exactly who is going to be happy?
01:07:59Well, you're not here to make money or do business.
01:08:03You're just here to please someone.
01:08:05Enough!
01:08:07You know what?
01:08:07Save this for your funeral.
01:08:09Get him out of here!
01:08:10All you have to do is pick Victoria, and you will get exactly what you want.
01:08:17Trust me.
01:08:20The badge I gave you.
01:08:22Where is it?
01:08:30Hold it!
01:08:34Victoria, if this family takes a hit, we're going to sever ties with you for good.
01:08:39Oh, Mr. Duvall's coming right for you.
01:08:42Looks pretty pissed, too.
01:08:45Miss Kansley, may I have that badge, please?
01:09:00Miss Kansley, do you intend to start a new company and form a partnership with the Shadow Alliance?
01:09:07I'm not Mr. Duvall.
01:09:07No reason to get upset.
01:09:08I'll get these two out of here.
01:09:10What's the holdup?
01:09:11Move it!
01:09:13Over!
01:09:15You think you can just interrupt me?
01:09:18You see this?
01:09:19I'm in hot water because you two pissed them off!
01:09:23When this summer is over, you two are getting what's coming to you.
01:09:26Don't worry, Tristan.
01:09:27The moment we step out of this room, Victoria is no longer a member of this family.
01:09:32Ladies and gentlemen, the Shadow Alliance has made a decision.
01:09:38Our new partner is...
01:09:44Once you land Shadow Alliance, taking down Victorian coal is going to be child's play.
01:09:50The new partner of the Shadow Alliance is...
01:09:57Miss Victoria Kingsley.
01:10:03Miss Kingsley, please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:10:07I'll come by and sign it myself.
01:10:10No way!
01:10:12How is it hurt?
01:10:14But this has to all be about training.
01:10:17The $50 billion is yours.
01:10:19You can use it as you see fit.
01:10:21And if you need any resources from then on, give your word and I'll make it happen.
01:10:27What is the deal with Victoria?
01:10:30I mean, who is she?
01:10:32The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner with random people.
01:10:35That deal is basically free money.
01:10:39Cole said that Lester was just trying to make people happy, right?
01:10:44Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:10:46He flipped like a switch the second he saw that badge in our hand.
01:10:49He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:10:54No!
01:10:56Man, this is impossible!
01:10:58I never lose!
01:11:01Cole, am I dreaming?
01:11:04What'd I tell you?
01:11:06If I carry that badge, I'll pick you.
01:11:09Period.
01:11:10But $50 billion?
01:11:14All of one tiny badge?
01:11:16Miss Kingsley,
01:11:18I look forward to working with you.
01:11:20Have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:11:22How come guys sign it?
01:11:24If you need anything in the meantime, you say the word and I'll make it happen.
01:11:27You're serious?
01:11:29All of this is real?
01:11:30Of course it's not real!
01:11:32Wake up!
01:11:33He only picked you because he assumed you were running the Kingsley family!
01:11:38Miss Duvall, she's just a pretty face.
01:11:41She is unfit to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:11:45Okay?
01:11:45She has no resources!
01:11:47Mr. Duvall,
01:11:49if we're talking about power and influence,
01:11:53Tristan is the only logical choice.
01:11:58That's right, Victoria.
01:11:59As of today,
01:12:00you are no longer a member of this family.
01:12:03And without the Kingsley name,
01:12:04you have absolutely nothing to offer!
01:12:11You Kingsley sure you want to cut Victoria loose?
01:12:17That's that friend of yours.
01:12:20What's she doing here?
01:12:21I almost thought she was someone important.
01:12:24But if she's Cole's friend,
01:12:26she's probably just a gutter rat.
01:12:27Keep talking like that,
01:12:28and the Van family's going to be six feet under by midnight.
01:12:34Go on, Lester.
01:12:36Tell the distinguished Mr. Van who I am.
01:12:40Oh!
01:12:40Oh, Tristan!
01:12:41Oh, God!
01:12:44This is Miss Amber Cross,
01:12:46the U.S. Director of the Shadow Alliance.
01:12:49And if I remember,
01:12:50you just referred to Miss Cross
01:12:53as a gutter rat.
01:12:54I didn't know who she was.
01:12:56Oh, God!
01:12:57Mr. Duvall, please!
01:12:58Tristan's just young and ignorant.
01:13:01Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:13:05What the fuck, man?
01:13:06This is my turn.
01:13:09I'm the one who wants this.
01:13:11No one comes in here and pushes me around.
01:13:15I need the Shadow Alliance.
01:13:16You hear me?
01:13:17If all you had done
01:13:19was cross the Shadow Alliance,
01:13:21I may have given you a free pass.
01:13:23But what's really unforgivable
01:13:24is that you disrespected Miss Victoria Kingsley,
01:13:28the woman with the badge.
01:13:31Cole, what is this?
01:13:33Even Amber's acting like
01:13:34it's the most valuable thing in the world.
01:13:37Dad, isn't it the same badge
01:13:39Cole tried to give you at the family dinner?
01:13:42No way that thing
01:13:43actually has any real pull.
01:13:45Well, I tried to tell you.
01:13:47This badge could single-handedly
01:13:49make your family crisis disappear
01:13:51and turn you into financial giants.
01:13:54You Kingsleys
01:13:55lit
01:13:56the golden ticket on fire.
01:14:01Seeing this badge
01:14:02is seeing the owner.
01:14:05No one disrespects him.
01:14:07No one.
01:14:08Forget 50 billion.
01:14:10Make it 100.
01:14:11200.
01:14:12Hell, make it the entire Shadow Alliance.
01:14:14If it was the badge owner's orders,
01:14:16we'd have to give it over.
01:14:18No questions asked.
01:14:19Cole wasn't bluffing.
01:14:20That means that
01:14:21it's the actual
01:14:22Mona Lisa.
01:14:24Oh my God.
01:14:25I've crushed our entire family's fortune
01:14:27with my own hands.
01:14:29You...
01:14:30You said that ID
01:14:32was yours.
01:14:34Who the hell are you, Mr. Slade?
01:14:38I'm sorry.
01:14:40What?
01:14:43This badge
01:14:44is your ID?
01:14:46You've all heard the legend, right?
01:14:48How there's a
01:14:49phantom tycoon
01:14:50lurking in the shadows.
01:14:52A mystery billionaire
01:14:54who holds the entire economy
01:14:57in the palm of his hand.
01:14:59One word from him
01:15:00and blue chip
01:15:02stops cradle.
01:15:03One word
01:15:04and he turns a deadbeat
01:15:06into a star
01:15:07of high society.
01:15:08And the only way
01:15:10to identify this mystery man,
01:15:12the man who
01:15:13has the power
01:15:14to tilt the world
01:15:15on its axis,
01:15:17is that badge maker?
01:15:19and he is the owner.
01:15:22Cole Slade,
01:15:23the man behind the mask,
01:15:25the real mystery billionaire.
01:15:28Mr. Slade,
01:15:30I am sorry
01:15:31for speaking out of term.
01:15:35Mr. Slade,
01:15:36accept my apologies.
01:15:37Lester, really?
01:15:39Please,
01:15:39let's cut the formalities.
01:15:42It's a fake, okay?
01:15:43It has to be a fake!
01:15:44Lester,
01:15:46I want you to bankrupt
01:15:48the Van family
01:15:49in three minutes or less.
01:15:51Yes, sir.
01:15:55I'm sorry,
01:15:56Mr. Slade.
01:15:57Please.
01:15:59Please.
01:16:00Mr. Slade,
01:16:02the Van Group stock
01:16:03has just tanked.
01:16:06They are now bankrupt.
01:16:26Since you love him so much,
01:16:29you can go keep him company.
01:16:31Let's go.
01:16:32Vicky,
01:16:34we're family.
01:16:36I'm your cousin.
01:16:37Please don't do this.
01:16:39Family,
01:16:40my days as a Kingsley
01:16:42are over.
01:16:45You're my son.
01:16:51Well, now that you Kingsleys
01:16:53are nothing to Victoria,
01:16:55I want you to do yourselves
01:16:57a favor and
01:16:58get out of our sight.
01:17:00If I were to so much
01:17:01as see your faces again,
01:17:03it would be as if
01:17:04the Kingsley name
01:17:05never existed.
01:17:10so Victoria has the
01:17:11Shadow Alliance deal
01:17:12and her parents' research
01:17:14is safe.
01:17:15You've accomplished
01:17:16your mission, right?
01:17:17All there's left for you
01:17:19to do
01:17:19is leave her
01:17:20and marry me.
01:17:28Victoria, don't.
01:17:30I know you knew my brother.
01:17:34I'm safe now, okay?
01:17:37You should go.
01:17:40Thank you for everything.
01:17:48Victoria.
01:17:49Cole, stop.
01:17:51You've already done
01:17:52so much for me.
01:17:54I can't keep
01:17:55weighing you down.
01:18:00Remember when you asked
01:18:02if I ever served
01:18:02in the military?
01:18:04So,
01:18:05you're finally ready
01:18:06to tell me?
01:18:07I served with your brother, Alex.
01:18:08You knew my brother?
01:18:10We were brothers in arms.
01:18:13His last words
01:18:14were to keep you safe.
01:18:15He's
01:18:16dead?
01:18:18The mission failed.
01:18:20He didn't make it back.
01:18:23He didn't want you to know
01:18:24because he was afraid
01:18:25it was going to break you.
01:18:26Why didn't you tell me?
01:18:30Why didn't you let me see him
01:18:31one last time?
01:18:34Go.
01:18:35I'll take it, too.
01:18:40Alex,
01:18:41you're such a jerk.
01:18:44Do you know how hard
01:18:45it's been
01:18:46all on my own?
01:18:49Everyone tried
01:18:50to tear me apart,
01:18:51but now
01:18:52I have Cole.
01:18:55I think...
01:18:56I think I'm in love
01:18:58with him.
01:19:01He's the most powerful man
01:19:02in the Federation.
01:19:04I'm not good enough,
01:19:06am I?
01:19:07I'm sure you'd
01:19:07call me stupid again.
01:19:17What the hell?
01:19:22Alex?
01:19:25Hey, man.
01:19:31Oh, now you remember
01:19:32our pact.
01:19:34Whoever dies first,
01:19:35the other has to wear
01:19:36a wedding dress.
01:19:38And that's for the bride.
01:19:44Well, that's your sister.
01:19:47What?
01:19:48Have you lost your mind?
01:19:50Victoria Kingsley.
01:19:53Your brother asked me
01:19:54to guard you for life
01:19:55if you didn't make it back.
01:19:58But I don't want
01:19:58to just be a guard, too.
01:20:02Is this your idea
01:20:03of a proposal
01:20:03in a wedding dress?
01:20:06Just keep my promise
01:20:08in marrying you.
01:20:11Unless you have a problem
01:20:12with that.
01:20:14Idiot.
01:20:27rest easy, my brother.
01:20:29I'll protect Victoria
01:20:30for the rest of my life.
01:20:37a good show.
01:20:37Bye.
